My GM will be running a new campaign soon, and I'm working on a character for it. I have the character sheet mostly done, but I'm wondering how I could build them in the future. We're starting at 3rd level. Here's what I have:
Level 3
Feats: Skill Focus(Kn. Arcana), Eldritch Heritage (Arcane)
Phrenic Amplifications: Will of the Dead, Overpowering Mind
Familiar: Compsognathus, Figment Archetype
Mystic Past Life alternate racial trait, add the following spells to my list:
Shadow Conjuration (Mesmerist 4), Shadow Evocation (Mesmerist 5), Shadow Transmutation (Spiritualist 6), Animate Dead (Spiritualist 3), Magic Vestment (Occultist 3), One other spell from another psychic caster's spell list
I wanted to focus on Illusion and Necromancy.
Some ideas I had were to go into Veiled Illusionist at 6th level, because gaining extra illusion spells known would be really nice. I'd need spell focus (Illusion) at 5th level though. I'd also like to get Scribe Scroll at some point, probably 7th. From there, I'm not really sure where I'd go. And I'm not entirely set on the mystic past life spells. Probably Shadow transmutation can be traded out for something, but shadow conjuration/evocation and animate dead are definitely keepers.
Shadow conjuration is one of the best spells in the game and it's thematically on point too. Shadow and illusion!

Mystic Past Life only picks spells from one spell list, not several. Have you considered a Psychic Bloodline Sorcerer instead? You could get all the main Necromancy and Illusion spells that way.
The Shadow discipline from Blood of Shadows (but not online because of Archives of Nethys' work stoppage) also gives access to the Shadow line of spells.
